Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan are going to court to settle their divorce after six years. Dewan, 43, submitted court documents listing her witnesses to testify about their marriage, business, and finances. Tatum, 42, asked Dewan and her fiancé, Steve Kazee, to testify about their living arrangements, shared expenses, and other related matters.
A hearing is set for Friday, April 12, to discuss property division, reimbursement claims, support, breach of fiduciary duty, and legal fees. Dewan mentioned Magic Mike, Tatum's franchise since 2012. According to her, they acquired it together and she wants the division of the intellectual property decided first as it will impact other financial issues in the case.
Dewan claimed that Tatum rejected equal division of Magic Mike property, but he denied the accusations. "[Tatum] has made significant efforts towards enhancing the Magic Mike intellectual property and related entities since separation, which the Respondent claims as his separate property interest. The Court will need to determine the division of the community interest and the Respondent's separate property interest in the intellectual property and related entities, considering his post-separation efforts."
Dewan submitted a trial exhibit list including joint tax returns, Tatum Family Irrevocable Trust information, and the Magic Mike enterprise. Bank and credit card statements are also listed. According to The Blast, Tatum has also requested termination of spousal support for Dewan. (Dewan did not request temporary spousal support previously.)
Tatum and Dewan began dating in 2006. They got married in 2009 and had a daughter named Everly. Tatum and Dewan split in 2018 after almost 10 years of marriage. Dewan filed for divorce six months later, and they were officially single in 2019. After their split, Dewan began a new relationship with Kazee. They got engaged in 2020, had their son, Callum, that same year, and Dewan is now expecting their second child.
Tatum is engaged to Zoë Kravitz after fighting for their relationship despite growing apart. Tatum reflected on his divorce, realizing they had been telling themselves a story about their similarities despite the clear differences. Parenthood made these contrasts even more apparent. Because it constantly screams at you, shaping your parenting, perspective, and experience in everyday life.
The actor found transitioning back to single life initially scary and terrifying. "Your whole plan just slips through your fingers and you're like, 'Oh, s—t." "What now?" he admitted. Tatum credited the breakup as exactly what he needed. "I wouldn't have done the work on myself in the way I had to, without my daughter." I dropped everything and focused solely on her, the best decision I ever made. Because during our alone time, she and I have become best friends."
